Central Coast man who raped 12-year-old girl revealed to be a dad

Many disturbing details have emerged about the camouflaged man. Many new disturbing details have emerged about the man, who was dressed in camouflage when he grabbed the defenseless 12-year-old girl as she walked to school. The 12-year-old girl was walking alone to school on the Central Coast in May 2017, when a camouflaged man suddenly grabbed her from behind. She screamed for help as the man, who was dressed in a ghillie suit, dragged her into nearby bushland. Although the traumatized girl was eventually able to escape, the man managed to first tie her up and sexually assault her. The man appeared at Gosford District Court on Thursday to plead guilty to a total of 10 offences, including the 2017 attack on the 12-year-old girl and other sex offences committed against a different 11-year-old girl between August 2016 and January 2017. He said he hid beside a bush track because he knew it was a well-worn path for children going to school, had already been widely named after his arrest and after initial court appearances.
